Stomp and go was a little disappointing, into the low fives. The trick was a mild torque brake to around 2k. 45 dregrees or so, bright sunny day at about 1200 ft elevation. Otherwise, the car is bone stock and full of my everyday junk. Im always a little skeptical of C/D numbers but this shows that in this instance they are right on the money. Its even slightly faster than my chipped c400 despite the additional weight. Nice indeed.

Yep, excellent for an OEM six banger!! I think definitely lives up to its AMG badge.
